letter he received from Shultz two
weeks ago suggesting that the
Israeli government must take
tougher economic measures
before the U.S. considers its
request for increased economic
aid.
THE LETTER, leaked to the
press, drew a sharp response
from Gad Yaacobi. minister of
economics and planning, who
said the government knows what
has to be done and does not need
"lecturing." Peres, however,
defended Shultz. His advice, he
said was "truly that of a friend,
without pressure or insults."
The premier added that it was
natural and proper for Wash-
ington to carefully scrutinize
Israel's economic plans when it
was being asked for increased
aid. He said Shultz's letter was

"general direction" of the

He simply urged greater urgency
and determination to implement
those policies, Peres said.
The Finance Ministry was
reported meanwhile to be work-
ing on a one-year wage-price
stabilization plan to take effect
when the three-month wage-price
freeze ends in January. Some ele-
ments of the plan, leaked to the
media, indicated that the min-
istry seeks to hold down real
wages. While workers will receive
their regular monthly cost-of-
living increments, there will be no
wage hikes during the year the
plan is in effect.

CHARGING THAT Soviet
Jews are facing currently a

Abram announced that the
number of Jews allowed to
emigrate from the Soviet Union
in 1984 was the lowest total for a
single year since the landmark
Leningrad Trials of 1970-71.
They noted that Jewish
emigration from the Soviet Union
has been steadily declining since
1979, when 61,320 Jews were
permitted to leave.

Rabbi Shepard Takes
Pulpit At Anshei Shalom
Oriole Jewish Center (Temple
Anshei Shalom) in West Delray
has appointed its first spiritual
leader. He is Rabbi Jordan H.
Shepard, formerly of Temple
B'nai Israel in Kankakee, 111.
Born in Revere, Mass., Rabbi
Shepard was ordained at Chaim
Berlin Talmudical Seminary in
1946, and held pulpits in three
communities in Massachusetts
until he took the pulpit in Kan-
kakee. During his tenure in
Medford, Mass., Rabbi Shepard
also served as regional president
ofZOA.
Rabbi Shepard holds an MA in
psychology from the Chicago
Medical School, where he also
served as an adjunct instructor in
the Department of Psychiatry.
He was one of the founders of the
Kankakee Mental Health Center
and served on its board of dir-
ectors.
In 1968, Rabbi Shepard deliv-
ered the benediction at the
inauguration of Illinois Governor
Samuel H. Shapiro, a past pre-
sident of Rabbi Shepard's
congregation in Kankakee. Rabbi
Shepard was a faculty member of
the Glendale Christian Teachers'
Institute, where he taught a
course on the Jewish Bible; he
was president of the Interfaith
Clergy of Kankakee; and a pre-
sident of the B'nai B'rith Lodge
of Kankakee. He has now trans-
ferred his B'nai B'rith member-
ship to the newly- formed Jacob
Lodge No. 3246 in Delray.
Rabbi Shepard and his wife
Ilene have two daughters and a
son.
Temple Anshei Shalom's presi-
dent Edward Dorfman intro-
duced Rabbi Shepard to some 300
congregants at a recent Friday
night service the largest at-
tendance at a Sabbath service in
the temple's four-year history.
Services are currently held at the
Carteret Bank on Atlantic and
Carter Rd., pending completion
of the temple's new building on
Rabbi Jordan H. Shepard
Atlantk Blvd.. next to the Palm
Beach Public Library. The new
temple building is expected to be
completed within two months.
Anshei Shalom has a member-
ship of nearly 900; it was 500
when ground was broken just
over a year ago.

(Compiled from Israeli dailies
and the English-language Jewish
Press, by Marty Erann, Director
of Communications, South
County Jewish Federation)
THE PITTSBURGH
JEWISH CHRONICLE teUs of a
Jewish woman, mother of three
school-age children in Bethel
Park, who spoke at a school
board meeting in praise of its
guidelines separating church and
state; she was subsequently
bombarded with at least 50 phone
calls, ranging from abusing to
threatening.
The woman, Carla Berenbaum,
was shocked to hear callers
saying things like: "The ovens
have started for you," "Did your
little Jew-boy get home OK?"
and threats to burn her house
down. Berenbaum said she was
the only one at the meeting of
some 180 parents to praise the
guidelines, and was hissed by
many of those present. But worst
of all. according to Berenbaum,
were the reactions from some of
her Jewish neighbors, who ac-
cused her of "creating anti-
Semitism."
Fortunately, later, more sup-
portive calls came, including one
from the Pittsburgh area and as
far away as Allentown and even
Florida.
THE NATIONAL JEWISH
POST AND OPINION continues
to play up the issue of patrilineal
descent, which relates to the
issue of "Who Is A Jew" in the
Israeli law as well as among the
Jewish religious movements. The
P AND O quotes a leading
Conservative rabbi, Harold
Schulweis, as saying, "It is
imperative for the Conservative
and Orthodox communities to
meet privately and immediately
to work out a modus vivendi
regarding converts to Judaism."
It says Rabbi Schulweis, consi-
dered the father of the wide-
spread Havurah movement, fore-
casts that patrilineal descent will
likely be accepted eventually, as
was recently stated by Reform
Rabbi Alexander Schindler, who
was instrumental in getting it
recognized in Reform Judaism. It
is anticipated, however, that
many voices within the Con-
servative rabbinate will be raised
in objection to this assessment
as has already been evident in a
recent issue of JUDAISM the
American Jewish Congress
quarterly, which devoted itself to
the issue.
(The issue is a vital one, since
Orthodox and Conservative
authorities, at present, recognize
only those born to Jewish
mothers as being Jewish, while
children of a Jewish father and a
non-Jewish mother must convert
but are not otherwise accepted as
Jews. In Israel, this has created
many problems in the past, since
the Law of Return, which states
that every Jew has an automatic
right to be admitted to Israel and
Israeli citizenship, has to date
t been interpreted according to
* halacha and the matrilineal
9 descent rule. M.E. I.
THE P AND O. in an obliquely
apologetic editorial, justifies
itself for being one of the early
Jewish publications to make
public the fact that a rescue
operation for Ethiopian Jewry
was under way, by attempting to
shift the blame on to Aryeh
Dulzin, head of the Jewish
Agency, and the U.S. Ambas-
sador for Refugees, H. Eugene
Douglas, who hinted at the
operation during their speeches
at the General Assembly of the
Council of Jewish Federations in
Toronto back in November. Says
the P AND O: "No one at any
point approached this paper and
proposed that the news be
withheld for fear that its publica-
tion might cause Operation
Moses to be suspended."
i
a
l
A message to the Jewish Press
should have been sent in advance
about Operation Moses and the
need to refrain from publicizing
it, says the paper, and such a
request would then have been
"assiduously observed."
On the subject of placing guilt
about publicizing "Operation
Moses," the Israeli press also
splashed the subject on its front
pages last week, as the so-called
"secrecy" was broken. One
sidebar report, however, in
YEDIOT AHARONOT discloses
that an Israeli official has already
been axed for revealing secret
details about the operation.
Yehuda Dominitz, for many
years the director-general of the
Jewish Agency Aliyah Depart-
ment, was suspended by Haim
Aharon, the department chair,
for disclosing the information in
an interview with an Israeli
journalist. Dominitz himself told
VKDIQT that he specifically told
the journalist, Israel Harel. that '
this information was "off the
record" and had expected
Harel to respect this, as is cus-
tomary among journalists in
Israel. Only the information rela-
ting to absorption of Ethiopian
Jews, which was not to remain
classified, was supposed to be
published .
YEDIOT, as well as
MA'ARIV, report on a crisis that
is developing in government hos-
pitals in Israel (the majority of
hosptiaU, with noted exceptions
such as Hadassah Medical Center
and Sha'are Zedek, are govern-
ment hospitals M.E.). It
seems hospitals have been
running out of medications, food
and supplies of all sorts, in-
cluding surgical supplies. The
head of the cardiac unit at Sheba
Hospital in Tel Aviv complained
that he had only one pacemaker
left in stock; most hospitals were
almost out of blood for transfu-
sions, and Rambam Hospital in
Haifa issued a notice that it
would accept none but serious
emergency cases.
The crisis resulted from failure
of the Health Ministry to transfer
funds to the hospitals so they
could pay suppliers and order
material the Health Ministry,
in turn, blamed the Finance Min-
istry for failing to provide its
allocation, and all blamed the
budget cuts. Last minute reports
had it that Premier Shimon Peres
had instructed the Treasury to
"infuse" five billion Shekels (less
than $5 millionlinto the Health
Ministry, in order to overcome
the immediate problem, which
was exacerbated by a strike of
workers in Magen David Adorn
(Israel's equivalent of the Red
Cross, which operates ambul-
ances and emergency services.
M.E). However, HAARETZ
reported that only $2 million was
actually paid to the Health
Ministry.
The biggest uproar of the past j
two weeks in Israel fboiit
which much more will probably
be heard is a scandal which
came into light at the beginning
of January, and concerns a col-
lapse of the bank stocks in
October. 1983. With the publica-
tion of a scathing report by State
Comptroller Yitzhak Tunik, the
Knesset Watchdog Committee

Israel Tried To Exchaiu
PLO Burial for POWs
By GIL SEDAN
JERUSALEM (JTA)
Israel offered to allow
burial in Hebron of the
town's former mayor,
Fahed Kawasme, in ex-
change for four Israeli sol-
diers missing in Lebanon
for more than a year, it was
disclosed here.
The offer was relayed to
Amman, where Kawasme was as-
sassinated, apparently with the
intention that the Jordanian
authorities would pass it on to
Green Party in Israel Tell
Knesset of Enormous 'Crimes'
BONN (JTA) -
Green Party officials here
view the latest trip of their
delegation to Israel as an
enormous success in gain-
ing publicity for the party's
ideas. Never before in its
short history has the Green
Party had such favorable
attention focused by the
media on its view that a
Palestinian state should be
created in the West Bank,
and that what it terms "Is-
raeli crimes" in Lebanon
should be denounced by
Bonn.
The six-member Green Party
delegation ended its four-day
tour of Israel and admitted that
they had come to Israel with
fixed ideas and were returning
home with those same opinions
unchanged, it was reported by
Hugh Orgel, the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency's correspondent
in Tel Aviv.
HE WROTE that Jurgen
Reents, the delegation's spokes-
man and leader, told a press con-
ference in Tel Aviv that the
Greens still thought that Israel
should withdraw to its pre-June
1967 borders and recognize a
Palestinian state in the West
Bank to afford the Palestinians
their "natural right of self-
expression."
The West German media
coverage of the delegation
concentrated heavily on the dif-
ference of opinion between Israel
and the Greens on the Palestinian
issue. It either left unmentioned
or strongly downplayed other
elements in the present contro-
versy over the visit and over the
party's anti-Semitic tendencies.
The German media largely
ignored the fact that the delega-
tion had prepared its itinerary in
Lebanon, in Syria and Jordan
with the Palestine Liberation
Organization and with the
governments of these countries.
This happened, according to well-
informed sources in the party,
months or weeks before the
delegation was slated to leave
West Germany.
MOST WEST German news-
papers failed to report, as well,
that the Greens had prepared an
anti-Israel strategy paper before
the delegation began its trip. Nor
did most publications report that
the Israeli ambassador here
labelled the paper as anti-
Semitic.
The paper, published early in
December, denounced Israel as
"fascist and terrorist" and
referred to "terrorist policies" of
Israel in south Lebanon which
allegedly include random arrests
and tortures in specially desig-
nated concentration camps.
Most of the press also ignored
the fact that the Greens had
failed to contact the Israeli
embassy here, or the foreign min-
istry in Jerusalem, before they
were forced to do so when the
strategy paper was published by
a local Bonn newspaper and by
the Israeli media.
THE VISIT of the Greens'
delegation to Israel was pre-
sented in the media here as some-
thing that puzzled Israeli public
opinion and disturbed the
government of Premier Shimon
Peres. One radio commentator,
describing the Dec. 26 Knesset
incident in which members of the
Tehiya Party displayed a banner
saying Braune Gruenne Raus
(Browns Greens Ou') during the
delegation's visit to the parlia-
ment, said:
"The Israeli nationalistic
Tehiya Party has adopted the
methods of our own nationalistic
party, namely the Greens." He
was referring to the Greens' esta-
blished practice in the Bundestag
and in the parliaments of federal
states of attracting attention to
their opinions by displaying
banners which in most cases
denounce America as an aggres-
sive and imperialist power en-
dangering world peace. i
The Tehiya banner was a refer-
ence to the equation, according to
Tehiya, between the Greens and
the Nazi stormtroopers who wore
brown uniforms.
Another point left almost com-
pletely unmentioned in the West
German media is the disturbing
evidence accumulating on the
anti-Semitic tendencies of the
Greens an aspect widely
reported in Israel but which
some Green Party leaders deny.
NO GERMAN newspaper or
radio station has mentioned in
recent days the circulation of
anti-Semitic calendars by the
Greens; the frequent equations

Jacob K. Javits, former U.S.
senator from New York, will
receive the American ORT
Federation Community
Achievement Award at the
AOF National Conference
Jan. 25-27 in New York.
A spokesman for Reform
Judaism has criticized New
York's Mayor Edward Koch for
having made a "wholesale
condemnation of black leadership
as anti-Semitic."
Albert Vorspan, vice president
of the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations, said such "loose
talk" is "harmful and inflam-
matory, just as is loose talk that
the mayor is anti-black." He
urged that the mayor declare "a
moratorium on racial rhetoric and
polarization beginning with
himself."
The Union of American
Hebrew Congregations is
composed of 780 Reform syna-
gogues in the United States and
Canada with a membership of
1.25 million.
Delegates from American ORT
Federation chapters and
divisions throughout the U.S.
will participate in a three-day
round of discussions and ac-
tivities marking the 60th anni-
versary of the incorporation of
the American ORT Federation at
the AOF National Conference
slated for Jan. 25-27 at the
Sheraton Centre in New York,
announced Alvin L. Gray, AOF
president.
A special American ORT Fed-
eration Community Achievement
Award will be presented to
former Sen. Jacob K. Javits at
the Saturday night banquet
session, Jan. 26. Javits has been
a member of the AOF board of
i directors since 1946 when he saw
ORT schools in operation in
Displaced Persons Camps in
Europe after the Second World
War.
The Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai B'rith called on the
Greek government to "repudiate
ahd dissasociate" itself from a
ruling by a court in Candia,
Crete, that the Jehovah's
Witnesses, a Christian sect, is
"an organization close to
Judaism aiming at the creation of
a world Zionist empire with Jeru-
salem at its center."
In a cable to Prime Minister
Andreas Papandreou, Abraham
H. Foxman, ADL's associate
national director and head of its
International Affairs Division,
said it is "vital" that the
government of Greece make clear
that it "rejects this ruling and
the attitude it reflects."

Israel's Chief of Staff
Deputy Discusses
Combat, Cutbacks
How was the transition from
being G.O.C of the-Air Force to
vour present position as Deputy
Chief of Staff?
The main difference is that the
IAF is a tightly knit, compact
organization. Although it
deploys highly complex weapon
systems, it is a simpler organi-
zation to run than the IDF
General Staff. The IAF decision-
making process and related staff
work is a streamlined, relatively
problem-free, logical procedure.
Is this because of its smaller
sue?
Not only because of the IAF's
relatively small size, but because
of its organizational structure.
The functioning of the IDF
General Staff is more com-
plicated, because it is also the
staff of IDF land-based forces. In
addition, it is in contact with a
wide variety of civilian bodies,
and this generates friction. The
IAF. by contrast, has only one
"outside body" to deal with: the
General Staff, with whom friction
is minimal.
Would you like to see General
Staff organizational procedures
remodeled upon those of the Air
Force ?
I do not think it is possible to
disregard the constraints and
complexities that face the
General Staff. To a large extent
they are an integral part of any
large organization. There is. of
course, room for improvement
and for simplifying the decision-
making process. I believe that it
is possible to make progress in
these directions and. in all
modesty. I believe that we have
been successful in stremlining the
decision-making process.
How has your experience in
civilian industry contributed to
the relationship between the IDF
and the industrial complex?
I hope that I was able to exert
a positive influence in this
domain. I believe that my
knowledge of what industries are
and how they operate, as well as
my experience at the user level,
place me in a position to improve
IDF decision-making in the
selection of appropriate systems.
I believe that my IAF experience
was particularly valuable in this
respect The IAF has had more
contact nth Israeli industrial
processes, not only with respect
to formulating system require-
ments and specifications, but
also in the broader perspective of
system integration which in-
cludes servicing, documentation,
construction, and training
Because of the sheer
sophistication of Air Force
systems, the IAF has reached
higher standards and amassed
greater knowledge in these areas.
I hope that, at the General Staff
level. I have managed to bring
some of this experience to the
ground forces. I hope that I was
able to influence thinking
regarding efficient utilization of
the defense budget, as far as both
industry and defense are con-
cerned. There is sometimes, but
not always, a positive correlation
between the two. If you invest in
one system too heavily at too
early a stage, you will be unable
to undertake other projects.
However, if you commit just the
essential funding, you can free
other funds for additional
projects, thus obtaining more
marginal defense per dollar. This
approach is beneficial to industry
since you can extend funding
over a wider range of products
and commit yourself to broader,
more comprehensive programs.
What percentage of the
materiel used by the IDF is made
in Israel?
There are certain systems,
such as the Merkava tank, where
we are almost self-sufficient in
our acquisition. The problem is
not a technological one. We have
the know-how to produce almost
all the combat materiel which we
need. But budgetary constraints
and delivery-time requirements
occasionally oblige us to com-
promise and procure abroad.
You are the officer responsible
for preparing the annual work
plan for the Chief of Staffs
approval What are the areas
emphasized in the current plan,
and what changes have you made
since you assumed your func-
tions ?
WE have placed the emphasis
on improving the quality of the
order of battle. This can be ac-
complished in part by organi-
zational means.
During my term we established
the widely publicized Ground
Forces Command, which is now a
year in existence. We recently
dealt with matters including
increasing the efficiency of the
logistical organization for
wartime, the reduction of total
days of reserve service and their
reallocation to permit reserve
components to carry out training
and undertake ongoing security
assignments. We drew up annual
and multi-year plans and
amended them. We made quick
decisions regarding ground, sea
and air weapons systems. Many
of these decisions were influenced
by the lessons of Operation Peace
for Galilee and its aftermath.
The redeployment of forces in
Lebanon to the Awali line was
under our responsibility as well.
Our interests and our daily
concerns with organization are
motivated by the need to find
solutions for problems as they
arise. One such problem is the
economic situation of the State of
Israel. Unforseen budgetary cuts
and inflation require the work
plan to be amended every month.
Because of inflation every delay
in decision-making regarding
acquisitions of weapon systems
reduces the amount of materiel
which the IDF will be able to
procure. You therefore find
yourself in a race against time.
Likewise, problems in the field
require real-time appropriate
r**rjonses. These constraints

After Much Suffering
Finally, the Falashas Have Come Ho*
Friday. January 18. 1965

Number 3
JERUSALEM -
Today's headlines reveal
that 'most of the 25,000
Jews of Ethiopia have now
reached Israel including
many children who have
come without their parents.
After much suffering,
severe ordeals and long
treks in the sun-parched
African desert."
Israel's newspapers also reveal
for the first time that "dozens of
Ethiopians, mainly children,
have been admitted to Jeru-
salem's Shaare Zedek Medical
Center, where a special emer-
gency facility medical team has
been established."
SHAARE ZEDEK'S Prof.
Chain) Hershko stated, "We are
faced again with the terrible
symptoms found when the
concentration camps in Europe
were liberated."
Dr. Yaakov Adler, Shaare
Zedek's director of emergency
services, returned this week from
famine stricken Ethiopia, said
that "it was a shocking, hear-
trending experience. I saw a
desperately sick child. His
mother covered him with a
blanket and let him die under a
tree in the corner of our camp.
"When I offered to treat him
and to try to save his life, her
reaction was, 'He will die in any
case then is nothing to be
done.' I saw apathy everywhere.
Thev simply lie in their tents,
waiting for death."
Dr. Adler, who previously went
to Cambodia with a relief mission
organized by Abie Nathan, had
joined Nathan again on the
mission to Ethiopia where they
set up a camp for 10,000 people
some 400 km north of the capital,
Addis Ababa.
"PEOPLE died in our camp
before we could get to them,"
stated Adler.
"They suffer from many
diseases and have gradually lost
their immunity. Although we had
steeled ourselves emotionally, we
were overcome by the tragic
scenes of people dying of hunger,
disease and lack of will to live."
Dr. Adler also told the story of
a mother of four who saw three of
her children die within one week.
"She stopped eating and
drinking, and she even refused to
take medication. When we tried
to spoon-feed her, she said, 'I
don't want to live.' "

special update on the Ethiopian
Jewry rescue efforts, the execu-
tive discussed plans for the
campaign.
Among the "firsts" in Boca
Lago this year are a breakfast
which was held last week at the
country club; a cocktail party
planned by one of the pods the
Pines of Boca Lago honoring
Earl Fox; and the dinner dance
(for contributors of $300 or more)
which will be held for the first
time at the country club, making
it easier for everyone to attend.

Continued from Page 4
render routine planning difficult.
What lessons were learned
from Operation Peace for Galilee
and its aftermath? Have they
been implemented?
I shall relate to the organi-
zational lessons on the General
Staff level only. After extensive
debriefings and investigations,
the General Staff approved a
body of conclusions drawn up
according to subjects. These were
fed into our computers, and their
implementation by the units
concerned is being closely
followed. It is already apparent,
however, that many of these
lessons will have to be overruled
since developments in the field
which occurred after the
operation often contradicted the
lessons of the war, and lessons of
the post-war period have been no
less important to us.
This is especially true in the
field of combat materiel. The
materiel which we deploy today
has changed both quantitatively
and qualitatively since the
operation. We have had to find
new logistical solutions for this
materiel. The lessons drawn from
the operation could not provide
us with the answers.
One of the principal tenets of
military planning is not to
prepare yourself for the last war,
but for the one to come. It is
extremely important to formulate
the lessons from the correct pers-
pective, with an eye to the future,
not merely from the viewpoint of
the past.
Has the war in Lebanon hurt
troop morale? Is it true that
reserve soldiers are less willing to
report for duty or that fewer
conscripts are volunteering for
elite combat units or officer
candidate school?
To analyze morale is a very
complex matter. Morale can be
low among soldiers serving in
southern Israel and higher in
Lebanon, since on the level of the
individual soldier, morale is often
affected by such factors as his
relationship with his com-
manding officer, the type of
training he is undergoing, job
challenge and satisfaction. This
is not to make light of the fact
that soldiers are also thinking
individuals who reason and
question. But to a large extent a
soldier's morale is influenced by
his immediate environment.
As far as reserve component is
concerned, the situation in Leba-
non has had a slight influence
upon readiness to report for
reserve duty. This is a natural
and understandable phenomenon
and is not necessarily related to
the political-military situation
regarding Lebanon per se, but
rather to work overload: the
accumulation of extensive
periods of reserve service over a
given time. I admit that it is
difficult for people to carry such a
burden for a long period of time.
Boca Raton
Synagogue
First Anniversary
Boca Raton Synagogue, the
first Orthodox synagogue in
Boca Raton, has a membership of
50 families at its first anni-
versary, according to the
congregation's spiritual leader,
Rabbi Mark Dratch.
The congregation meets for
Shabbat morning services at
Verde Elementary School in Boca
at 9:30 a.m. and on Friday and
Saturday evenings at members
homes.
Aa far as compulsory service
conscripts are concerned, there
has been no adverse effect what-
soever. On the contrary, there
has been a alight increase in the
number of volunteers for elite
ground, sea, and air combat
units, although there has never
been a problem in finding
volunteers for such units and we
have always had many more
volunteers than we could accom-
modate.
What will be the IAFs combat
aircraft mix of the 1990's ?
To make maximum use of
force, we should not speak of a
combat aircraft mix, but rather of
the broader integrated operation
of the IDF from a systems ap-
proach. This does not lessen the
importance of the IAF. There is
no doubt that certain missions
can only be performed by a given
service or branch. But victory or
defeat will ultimately be
determined in those areas where
there is a greater integration of
systems or, to be more specific,
the battle is decided by the in-
tegration and coordination of
different bodies in ground
warfare. As forces become more
complex, progress in this domain
is essential. We must therefore
build our air force and navy as a
function of the overall solution
for Israel.
In the 1990s, the IAFs main
aircraft will be the Lavi as well as
the F-15, the F-16, and the
Phantom, which we are presently
upgrading. The Air Force will
have to decide upon another
aircraft to answer particular,
sophisticated mission challenges.
I do not know whether this will
be the F-18 or some other air-
craft. We have recently been
stressing the use of helicopters.
What is the state of the Lavi
figh ter-in terceptor project ?
Development is proceeding on
schedule. Indeed, the minister of
defense issued a directive to
advance the project by one year.
What about the future shape of
the naval forces?
We are devoting much effort to
building up the naval order of
battle and weapon systems. We
are currently working on a long-
range program including fiscal
proposals. Of course, there is a
constant need to keep our order
of battle up to date. There is
likewise a need to find adequate
responses to serious threats
which are currently being intro-
duced into the theater. I would
say that the lessons of the
Falklands War should be taken
into account. Some of the an-
swers to these threats will be
incorporated into existing ships,
and others into future craft.
Do you see the Ground Forces
Command developing into a
service branch?
The Chief of Staff has decided
that the GFC should not be an
independent service, though it
has been invested with many of
the responsibilities of an inde-
pendent service in matters
concerning buildup, doctrine and
training. The GFC does not
deploy ground forces in the field
as do the regional commands, the
Air Force and the Navy. The
GFC's mission is rather to build
forces for the regional commands.
Had the establishment of the
GFC contributed to the overall
efficiency of the General Staff?
Yes, the GFC received some of
the General Staff responsibilities
regarding development of
materiel and doctrine in ground
force units. The GFC has likewise
inherited some of the responsi-
bilities generally entrusted to
units in the field. A consequence
of this concentration of authority
is a more rapid and efficient
decision-making process. This is
especially true in such areas as
research and development for
materiel which cannot clearly be
defined as belonging to a single
arm: force build-up, instruction,
and training.
What is the present state of the
IDF redeployment in the Negev? '
The redeployment has
proceeded according to schedule
and the infrastructure is of high
quality. The third air base has
been operational since October
1983, but it has been functioning
at a slower pace because of the
need to relocate the Bedouin to
different parts of the Negev,
which was a complex problem
with political ramifications. It
was handled most intelligently
by allowing the Bedouin to
resettle gradually in a peaceful,
amicable manner, simultaneous
with the building of the airbase.
The Air Force encounters no
operational problems from the
Negev deployment, and planes
have taken off from the Negev for
Lebanon.
What constraints has the Negev
redeployment imposed upon the
IDF?
The constraints are primarily
in the domain of ground forces
and air force training. Some of
the IAF flight paths overlap with
civilian air traffic corridors. The
ground forces are beset with the
problem of finding sufficient
firing ranges and training areas.
Finally, the Negev redeploy-
ment has increased friction with
the civilian population. Many of
our ground and airforce training
areas border on Jewish and Arab
settlements. Some friction is
therefore inevitable. We shall ap-
proach the problem with under-
standing and consideration, and I
am certain that we shall find a
modus vivendi agreeable to all
parties concerned.
Can use of simulators com-
pensate for lack of training
space?
The use of simulators can be
partial solution, but whoever
thinks that simulators can offer a
total answer is deluding himself.
Simulators are necessary first
and foremost to enable better,
more efficient, and quicker train-
ing on highly sophisticated new
weapon systems. They can help
reduce the number of reserve
service hours spent on training
and instruction. If reservists
come to a centrally located urban
training center and brush up
their skills on such devices, they
will be more proficient. But there
is no substitute for training
grounds. We will do everything
in our power to upgrade our
soldiers' proficiency as far as we
are able, but simulators cannot
constitute a complete substitute
for live training.
Have the recent reductions in
the defense budget cut into the
"flesh" of the army, as well as the
"fat"?
The reductions have been on
two levels resources and man-
power.
Until now, our guiding
principle has been to prevent
Israel's future defense posture
from being jeopardized. To do
this we have continued to invest
in materiel procurement and
development, at least on the 1982
level (the last "normal" annual
program prior to Operation Peace
for Galilee. In 1983 we had to re-
plenish materiel expended in the
war). This can only be ac-
complished at the expense of
current activities. We must cut
back in areas of current opera-
tions and endeavor to optimize
efficiency with the reduced means
at our disposal in a word,
tighten our belt.
The effect of budget cuts is felt
unevenly. The General Staff feels
the cuts immediately since it has
to abandon some of its programs.
As you proceed down the
echelons, however, the effects be-
come less immediate. Some will
be felt only after a year or two, if
not later. For example, the effects
of reductions in vehicle purchases
will become more and more
noticeable as existing vehicles
wear out with the passage of
time. Reduction in the food
budget, on the other hand, is felt
immediately.
The cuts in the 1984 defense
budget were in the region of 13
percent. But you should not see
this as an across-the-board cut.
Certain components of the
budget are inflexible and cannot
be cut, such as indemnities to
families and wounded -veterans
(which have, indeed, actually
risen) and payment of prior
financial commitments. Other
areas therefore must sometimes
be reduced by as much as 40
percent to accomodate for thai
inflexibility.
The second area of budget
cuts, manpower, is very difficult.
On the one hand, the level of our
ongoing security operations
remains constant and, indeed,
has even increased, while on the
other hand, we are being asked to
cut back on many hundreds of
career military personnel.
Since we are at the same time
introducing new, sophisticated
materiel, we must also recruit
new personnel for this purpose.
Therefore to abide by the man-
power reduction quota we must
actually release many more exist-
ing personnel during the next
fiscal year. Although it is simple
to speak in numerical terms, it is
much more difficult to tell some-
one that you are not renewing his
service contract or that you must
abolish posts in a given unit.
When you betray the trust and
commitment of those who have
volunteered to serve under you,
you are undermining the set of
relationships upon which career
service is built. The IDF is based
to a large extent on volunteer
spirit and good will. There exists
a commitment between a com-
mander and his men that cannot
be expressed in monetary terms.
How can you retain high
quality personnel when you are
forced to make budget cuts?
The answer is not a simple one.
There is no panacea. The IDF has
made unprecedented efforts to
restore some fo the value of the
salary which has been eroded in
recent years, but we cannot com-
pete monetarily with civilian
industry. What we hoped to
achieve by this raise was to make
it clear to our career personnel
that they matter to us as people
and as skilled professionals and
because of this we are willing to
pay them more than we normally
should allow, given the budget-
ary restraints. We are trying to
assure them the minimum needed
to support themselves and their
families in a decent fashion.
The essential motives for rem-
aining in the IDF, however, are
the possibilities for self-
expression, creativity and ad-
vancement. The professional
challenges and possibilities are
very large. The IDF is at the
forefront in quality a^ tui

Former President of Israel
Yitzhak Navon, who now serves
as education minister, met with
three different groups of particip-
ants in the course. He was so im-
pressed that he asked to arrange
a private meeting with the school
staff, to learn how it was that
they were able to generate such
enthusiasm among the American
teenagers in the program.
So far, a total of some 5,000
students have taken part in the

have invariably been enthu-

cipants in the course was Rabbi
Gregory Marx, currently the
assistant rabbi at Temple Beth
El of Boca Raton. The cost of the
program varies, depending on the
time of year in which the session
occurs. There are five to choose
from, costing between $ 1,600 and
$2,550. This is the net cost after
some $1,000 provided by the
Federation and Israel's Ministry
of Education. It includes all
travel, food and lodging, and
school expenses.

President of Flagler Federal
since 1976, Herschel
Rosenthal has been associated
with the dynamic savings and
loan association for the past
28 years.
Active in the South Florida
Jewish community since
Saduating from Miami Senior
igh School and the Univer-
sity of Miami, Rosenthal was
chairman of the 50th anni-
versary dinner-dance of the
Jewish Community Centers of
South Florida.
He was selected for that key
position because of his service
as president of the YM-
YWHA of Greater Miami and
his leadership roles for the
Greater Miami Jewish
Federation. He is a Pacesetter
of the annual CJA-IEF cam-
paign and was honored by
State of Israel Bonds for his
long service to Beth David
Congregation.
After receiving a BBA
degree from the U-M, where
he majored in accounting,
Rosenthal practiced public
accounting for seven years
before joining Flagler Federal
during its second year of
expansion. He was a partner
in a CPA firm until 1963 and
is a member of the American
and Florida Institutes of
Certified Public Accountants.
Rosenthal has been honored
.
Keith
by his colleagues through
election as chairman of the
Florida Savings and Loan
League. He also has served as

tive of the Florida League and
was director of District 6 of
the statewide association.
Now a member of the
United States League of
Savings Institutions Com-
mittee on Industry Re-
structuring, he is a member of
the U.S. League's executive
committee, a director of the
University of Miami's School

countless other civic and busi-
ness associations.

committed to the role of

Broward and Dade. He has
participated in the growth of
the association to six offices in
Palm Beach County, 11 in
Broward and 20 in Dade with
the greatest expansion follow-
ing the population trends of

the Florida Gold Coast.
Herschel Rosenthal, his six
children and three grand-
children have witnessed the
explosive growth of South
Florida, and played a major
part in its community and
professional history.
Seymour B. Keith, a Flori-

Keith was senior vice pre-
sident from 1970 until 1977,

in the growth of Flagler
Federal throughout the state's
fastest growing region.
A Pacesetter of the Greater
Miami Jewish Federation

by Tel Aviv University students developed into a major program,
participating in two programs There were 1.350 student
aimed at helping members of the participants at TAU during the
community. ^m^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Community Involvement
Program, in which students meet
with the aged, underprivileged
and handicapped, aims to provide
students with a chance to com-
bine theoretical and practical
work in their fields and to offer
companionship and assistance to
those in need.
The second program.
"Perach," encourages university
students throughout Israel to
help children from low-income
areas with family, school and
environmental problems.
Students participating in this
program have 60 percent of their
tuition fees paid for by the Min-
istry of Education.
The Community Involvement
Program, developed about nine
years ago by TAU psychology
professor Ron Shouval. is an ac-
ademic credit program for
students from the psychology,
theatre and general BA depart-
ments, pre-unhersity prepar-
atory program and the Overseas
Student Program.
According to Prof. Shouval. it
was developed out of a desire to
be involved in and committed to
Israeli society. Students make
weekly visits to schools, homes
and institutions for the under-
privileged, retarded and dis-
turbed children, and senior
citizens.

The program is mandatory for
psychology students throughout
their three-year study period. The
first year involves work with
underprivileged youth. During
the second year, students work
with children who are brain-
damaged and have mental and
intellectual disorders, and with
senior citizens. The third year in-
volves work with children and
adults with behavioral distur-
bances and mental problems. The
program, for which all students
receive academic credit, is vol-
untary for other participants,
who work primarily with under-
privileged youth.
Last year, within the frame-
work of the Community Involve-
ment Program and with the help
of the Association for Planning
and Development of Services for
the Aged in Israel, an experi-
mental field studies project was
initiated for psychology students
at homes and institutions of the
aged. Tel Aviv University's
psychology department is the
first in the country to provide
practical work in this area.
Students assist the aged w
social and personal problems, be-
come their confidants and
provide them with companion-
ship. During the festival of Purim
students organized a Purim party
for senior citizens at a Tel Aviv
old-age home.
"For the people at that home,
where the average age is 86. it
was something very special. They
were occupied for days before,
making masks and decorations.
At the party itself, there was
tremendous involvement, smiles
on their lips and happiness in
their eyes," explained Nitza
Eyal, TAU coordinator of studies
on the aged.
Unlike the Community
Involvement Program where the
academic growth of the uni-
versity is strongly emphasized,
the nation-wide Perach program
is aimed exchnleafy at helping
underprivilegft youth. It was
developed abset 10 years ago by
a science student studying at the
Weizmann Institute, who recog-
nized the necessity for helping

isolated. There are no visiting
hours for their families.
Whenever they want to visit
them, that is fine.
ARRANGEMENTS are made
even if they want to sleep over
and tend their children them-
selves. An exceptional effort has
been made by the staff to master
key phrases in their Amharic
language. And their eyes light up
when they hear a familiar word.
The staff is also very sensitive to
their cultural differences.
For example, they know it is
not permitted to cook on the
Sabbath, so nothing will induce
them to eat hot food on Saturday.
Even though the hospital rabbi
came down and tried to tell them

of the foods before. So when it
was learned that they favored a
mixture of potatoes and rice, this
was prepared for them and eaten
with relish. Little by little, they
are beginning to taste other
meals.

They respond warmly to the

as the children, can be seen
playing with the toys provided
for them.
From a financial and man-
power point of view, these arr-
vials are a burden. The medical
center does not have extra per-
sonnel to handle them, which
means that the staff is working
with them in addition to their
regular duties.
)llapse
bank shares in October,
1983, the subject of a
scathing report by State
Comptroller Yitzhais Tunik
released.
Tunik's report accused Israel's
largest banks and their senior
officials of manipulating the
shares buying and selling
them so as to inflate their price.
Tens of thousands of small
investors sustained severe finan-
cial losses when fear of a new,
sharp devaluation of the shekel
precipitated a mass dumping of
the bank shares in order to buy
dollars. The government acted to
staunch the flow by subsidizing
the price of the shares.
ADDRESSING a group of
Anglo-Jewish journalists. Modai
said the inquiry at the very worst
would force the heads of some
banks to resign. This would be
very sad, he said, "but so what?
What does that have to do with
the banks themselves? The banks
are solid and the value of the
bank shares is guaranteed by the
government." Modai said.
He spoke in response to a
question by the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency about
reported fears in banking and
owned.
Modai stated that the inquiry
probably would not proffi
information that is not alreadv
known. "What would be go^
avoid, however, is the time-lar*!
between the appointment olFa
commission of inquiry and th*
submission of its finding
During this period people would
imagine all sorts of things,"
Knesset's Control Committee
over the commission's terms of
reference. Several members of the
Knesset panel proposed that the
heads of the banks involved and
the several government economic
figures criticized in Tunik's
report be allowed to state their
case before there is a final deci-
sion on how the commission will
operate.
Modai. who served as Energy
Minister in previous govern-
ments, said that he now regrets
that he remained in the Likud-led
cabinets of the early 1980s
knowing, as he did at 'the time!
what the banks were doing. He
said he had repeatedly warned
against their practices as the
price of bank shares continued to
rise out of all proportion to the
banks' assets.

Friday, January 18,1986 / The Jewish Floridian of South County Page 11
A Rabbi Comments
The following is brought to our
readers by the South County
Rabbinical Association. If there
are topics you would Bk* our
Rabbis to discuss, please submit
them to The Floridian,
"So teach ua to number our
days that we may acquire a heart
of wisdom." So prayed Moses,
the man of G-d, a semiiialprayer .
recited by the traditional Jew on
each Sabbath, holiday and holy
day.
How much more meaningful
and enriched our lives would be if
we understood properly the value
of time as underscored by Moses
our Teacher. Too often time is
what we want most but what
we use worst. Again and again we
are cautioned not to waste time
because "That's the stuff life is
made of." We are enjoined to use
time wisely. We are admonished
that yesterday cannot be
recalled; tomorrow cannot be
assured; only today is ours,
which if we procrastinate, we
lose. And what we lose is lost for-
ever.
The older we get, the more we
value time. We realize that time
rushes by like a restless stream.
How wise was the savant who
observed, "Lost yesterday,
somewhere between sunrise and
sunset, two golden hours, each
set with 60 diamond minutes. No
reward is offered, for they are
gone forever."
Each new day of the year
beckons us to intensify our faith
in G-d and Torah, to hope for the
future, and to quest for the
sanctities of our peerless tradi-
tion. It calls us to live today, to
create today, to produce and
grow today. It pleads with us not
to postpone living; that when we
make a daily withdrawal from the
everdecreasing bank of time, that
we use this most precious com-
modity wisely and creatively.
Today is sufficient for
The burdens we must bear;
Today is ours, to live,
to love,
Our wealth to share.
Tomorrow never comes to
us,
And yesterday is gone
Therefore, today is all the
time.
We have to build upon.
Tomorrow is far away
As yesterday, it seemed
So wake up, make full use
Do the things you dreamed.
Long-Time
Zionist Leader
Passes
NEW YORK (JTAI -
Phyllis Frank, a long-time leader
in Zionist causes and Jewish
communal affairs, died at her
home in Silver Spring, Md., after
a long illness. She was 51 years
old.
At her death she waa national
vice president for Zionist-
American affairs of Pioneer
Women-Na'amat, the Women's
Labor Zionist Organization of
America, of which she had been a
member for 30 years. She for-
merly served the organization as
vice president of program and
education.
Frank was a past president of
the Jewish Community Council
of Greater Washington and was a
ward member of the American
&oniat Federation and the
Jewish Social Service Agency of
Greater Washington. She served
^ a delegate to the most recent
J^etings of the World Zionist
^ongress and the World Labor
Zionist Movement executive.
Rabbi Louis L. Sacks
A famed and insightful student
of human nature has written
directly to this theme:
"I believe that only one person
in a thousand knows the trick of
really living in the present. Most
of us spend 59 minutes an hour
living in the past, with regret for
lost joys, or shame for things
badly done both utterly
useless and weakening, or in a
future, that we either long for or
dread. Yet, the past is gone
beyond prayer, and every minute
we spend in the vain effort to
anticipate the future is a moment
lost. There is only one world, the
world pressing against you at
this minute. There is only one
minute in which you are alive,
this minute here and now. The
only way to live is by accepting
each minute as an unrepeatable
miracle. Which is exactly what it
is a Miracle and Unrepeat-
able."
The recognition that each day
is another gift from G-d, that
each day is an occasion for joy
and gladness, can make us aware
of the extraordinary privilege of
being alive right here and now.
This awareness and cognizance
can inspire us to live each day
more hilly and more fruitfully.
Yesterday is a cancelled check,
and tomorrow is a promissory
note. Only today is cash at hand
for us to spend. Today is not a
parenthesis between yesterday
and tomorrow. Good things can
happen, do happen, and should
happen today, if we make sure
that they happen if we learn
how to live today.
As we grow older and as the
years flee by, may we grasp ever
more intensely the sage and
sagacious words of the Psalmist,
"This is the day that the Lord
has made, let us rejoice and be
glad in it."
Amen. RABBI

Local 'Sabra' Gets A Break
Ya'acov Sassi. an Israeli folk
singer who has lived in Ddray for
the past two yean, had to come
to Florida to be 'discovered" by
a top-notch Israeli star.
After spending the past two
years teaching music and song at
Hebrew schools and community
centers. Ya'acov s break came in
December when Yehoram Gaon.
one of Israel's most popular
singers, gave a performance in
Miami. Sassi. like many others,
went to greet the star after the
performance, and overheard his
manager asking if anyone knew
of locally available Israeli talent
who might want to share a con-
cert with Yehoram Gaon.
Sassi said he knew of several
singers, but that he also sang: he
was given an immediate audition
I without accompaniment I. and
was told he had the job. Gaon's
manager immediately arranged
for a ticket to Montreal, where
the concert was to take place
three days later. For Sassi this
was a most fortunate coincid-
ence: he had lived for two years
in Montreal before relocating to
Florida's warmer climate, and
had made many small appear-
ances there, as well as teaching at
schools and summer camps.
The concert with Yehoram
Gaon. however, was a big one
it was the annual concert of the
Canadian Mizrachi Women, at
the Place Des Arts, with an au-
dience of more than 2.500. And it
Sassi. left uith Yehoram Gaon at
MontreaTs Place-des-Arts.
gave Sassi a chance to sing an
original song. "Yirat Shamayim"
which is also the anchor song on
an album he has recorded and is
soon to be released. "I couldn't
believe it." says Sassi. "The
crowd actually stood up and ap-
plauded for several minutes,
that's how much they liked the
song."
Sasei. born in the N'eve-Israel
quarter of Herzliya in 1962, is the
son of a cantor, and one of 10
children. His oldest brother, a
graduate of the Israeli Musk
Academy, was his teacher and
helped him produce his album.
Four other brothers are also en-
gaged in musical activity, either
singing or playing various in-
struments. Ya'acov himself
studied folk-dancing at the famed
Beersheba Folk Dance School
headed by Y'ossi Abuhav.
"The greatest influence on
me." says Ya'acov. "came from
Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach. who
has influenced so many through
religious Hebrew folk songs
(almost all with original musk).
In fact. I have used some of his
songs in my album." Sassi
doesn't quite yet see himself
performing in Carnegie Hall, nor
does he feel that he has already
"made it." but "at least some
doors have been opened for me."
he says hopefully.

'Silent no more'
Soviet Jewry update
After a four-hour trial in
Moscow in December. YULI
EDELSHTEIN was convicted of
allegedly "possessing drugs."
and sentenced to three years in a
labor camp. Although many
Jewish activists arrived in
Moscow for the trial, only his
mother and his wife were per-
mitted in the courtroom. No
testimony was allowed on behalf
of Edelshtein, a Hebrew teacher
who had long been warned by the
KGB to end his teaching acti-
vities. Edelshtein has been on a
hunger strike since Dec. 1. and he
was reserved and quiet during
the trial. In his final statement,
he reaffirmed his innocence,
saying: "I am a religious man
and I would like to live in Israel. I
am not guilty and I expect justice
to be done. But if the court is not
just I. as a religious man. will
bear the punishment I get."
Edelshtein was arrested in
September after a house search in
which Hebrew books were confis-
cated. Following the search.
Soviet authorities claimed to
have found drugs in a container,
and charged that Yuli was in-
volved with 'foreigners who
corrupt Jewish youth with
medieval and mystical drug
rituals." Following his arrest,
additional allegations were made
linking Judaism with drug use,
and religious articles were confis-
cated in related searches.
In a letter to his wife. INA.
IOSIF BEGUN wrote that his
stay in solitary confinement has
been extended and that his period
of isolation will not be subtracted
from his sentence. Although a
Perm attorney told Ina that
reasons for the prolonged punish-
ment must be stated, he
acknowledged this is not always
the practice. Ina. who has repeat-
edly been denied information
concerning the extenskn to
Iosif's sentence, expressed
concern for his health after learn-
ing that he was hospitalized in
the prison infirmary on Dec. 7.
She has appealed to Israel's
Knesset, asking that they inquire
into Iosif's physical condition
and the reasons for his continued
punishment. ... A letter received
by TATIANA ZUNSHAIN from
her husband. ZAKHAR, indi-
cated he has begun a hunger
strike. YAKOV LEVIN will
appeal his convktion on charges
of allegedly "defaming the Soviet
state" on Jan. 10.
allegedly "resisting arrest" and
sentenced to four years imprison-
ment on Dec. 10. Berenshtein was
arrested on Nov. 12 while in
Novograd Vilinsky to answer
allegations of economic crimes
made against his aunt, which
have since been dropped. The
warrant for his arrest, however
was dated Nov. 13. leaving ques-
tkns concerning the legality of
the procedure, as well as the pur-
ported grounds for his arrest.
Berenshtein. a 47-year-old
engineer and unofficial'Hebrew-
teacher, has sought to emigrate
to Israel since 1978.
Kiev refusenik IOSIF
BERENSHTEIN is reported to
have suffered severe damage to
one eye. after two inmates at-
tacked him with broken glass

;e, 6th in Palm Beach County
Keeps Pace With South Florida And All Of Palm Beach County
of the man in whose memory it is known.
Flagler was a philanthropist who donated money for
schools, parks and houses of worship.
And Flagler Federal has maintained that tradition of
participation in every phase of community life wherever it
maintains offices.
Nathan Meltzer, a past president of Flagler Federal now
deceased, met Henry Flagler on the historic day of January 22,
1912 when the first train rolled into Key West. Although the
Labor Day hurricane of 1935 was to wipe out the railroad tracks
to the Keys, the vision of Flagler opened up all Florida, and
particularly the Gold Coast to today's role as one of the world's
most desirable places to live, work and play.
